I have tatoos and dress nice-most NBA players are very much aware of style and trends and I think keep them stirred up. The are edgey-golf people are not. Basketball players are in there early to mid twenties and that is the time to do the things they do. Kinda like HAn-we discuss things off the topic but still within our interest-I dont think I can visit with those at the Subaru website as comfortably.
I have requirements to met at work and I do these to keep my position. This next seaon we will see some well dressed BBall players-which will mean just a more enjoyable game.
I think that maybe all along there should have been these requirements in place-in the 90's Dennis Rodman was wearing a wedding dress to his book signing? Where was the NBA code enforsement when we needed them? Because now these guys are dressing as everyday guys and getting threatened with fines?
I have not changed the way I feel about all that I posted.
I enjoy looking at a well dressed man, you may not which can explain why many of you disagree with this statement. Again I will enjoy the video clips included during the game breaks and commentary's. Or when my favorite players are interviewed.
This is a profession and these guys are very much business men. They may have agents who act and negociate on their behalf but the bottom line decision is theirs on where they play & what income they will accept(thats business) I believe they are more of a businessman then many guys who don't make decsions in there occcupation or that are limited.
I think the NBA is looking for that Magic Johnson or Mike Jordan figure which brings intergrity to the arena. As our nations future parents, current parents and authority figures I think this is an understandable descision for such an influentual sport. I for one do not enjoy watching contrversal situations which can be prevented and a dress code is typically the first place to start. Schools would be the number one example. From my experience this has been sucessful.
